DJI, the Chinese company which is the leading manufacturer of drones, has launched the cheapest offering from the brand so far — DJI Mini SE. It was first launched in the select overseas market but now the company has launched the same in its home market China.
The DJI Mini SE is priced at 1,999 yuan which roughly converts to $309. The pricing is for the stand-alone model, making it suitable for new users. It also supports various accessories, backpacks, and extended use methods.
This new drone seems to be a specialized one that is tailored to suit the needs of entry-level users. It provides some basic functionalities and is quite affordable. Despite its name, the product is not a low-cost edition of the DJI Mini 2 but a less-expensive model of the first-generation DJI Mavic Mini which was launched in the year 2019.
As for the specifications, it comes with support for the 2.7K-resolution camera (as opposed to the 4K) and 2.5-mile wireless range. The camera can shoot 2.7K video at 30 frames per second, with a 4x digital zoom when shooting in 1080p. It also captures 12-megapixel photos in jpeg format and has a 3-axis gimble setup.
The Mini SE doesn’t have support for Ocusync, which is the company’s own transmission technology, allowing the product to use 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands, giving it more flexibility when there is a lot of interference in transmission. Instead, it relies on a Wi-Fi connection.
There’s also an omnidirectional protective cover that can improve flight safety. GPS and down-looking sensors allow the drone to hover steadily. Coming to the weight, the DJI Mini SE weighs 249 grams which is quite lightweight. It is claimed to offer a battery life of 30 minutes on a single charge.
